Masturbation is commonly defined as touching one’s own body, including sex organs, for sexual pleasure.

Masturbation is a common and safe kind of sex play.

Masturbation has many health benefits.

For many of us, masturbation is a taboo topic. There are many harmful myths about masturbation that may cause us to feel uncomfortable about it. These myths can cause guilt, shame, and fear.

Let’s get the facts straight. Masturbation is a natural and common activity for both women and men. Here are some common questions people ask about masturbation. We hope you find the answers helpful.

Masturbation is commonly defined as touching one’s own body, including sex organs, for sexual pleasure.

There are many slang terms for masturbation, including

jacking off

jilling off

jerking off

spanking the monkey

double clicking the mouse

self-love

Masturbation often ends in orgasm, but not always.

Masturbation is very common. Studies show that about 7 out of 10 adult men and more than 5 out of 10 adult women masturbate. It’s also common for children and teens to masturbate.

The most common reasons adults give for masturbating are to

relieve sexual tension

achieve sexual pleasure

have sex when partners are unavailable

relax

Many people think that others masturbate only when they do not have a sex partner. But that is not true. In fact, people who have regular sex partners are more likely to masturbate than people without sex partners.

What Are the Benefits of Masturbation?

Masturbation can be good for mental and physical health. People who feel good about their bodies, sex, and masturbation are more likely to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancy.

Masturbation is also one of the best ways we can learn about our sexuality. It can help us explore the types of touch we like the most and help us learn how to get excited and how to reach orgasm.

Learning about what feels good to you can increase your chance of feeling sexual pleasure with sex partners. When you know what you like when it comes to sex, your comfort with sex increases. And when your confidence and comfort level are high, it is easier to let your partner know what you like.

Masturbation can enhance our physical, mental, and sexual health and the health of our sexual relationships. Masturbation may

Mutual Masturbation Masturbation is often thought of as a solo act. However, many people also enjoy mutual masturbation. Mutual masturbation is two or more people masturbating in one another’s presence. In addition to the potential benefits of masturbation listed above, mutual masturbation may

be a safe way to explore sex play with another person with no risk for pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (Because partners are not touching each other, there is no risk of infection — and no risk of pregnancy unless semen gets on a woman’s vulva.)

provide sexual pleasure and intimacy before partners are ready for sex play

teach people what kind of touch their sex partners like

So there.

Score one for Planned Parenthood.

“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)

Hey, here's a thing. When Leeuwenhoek was doing his microscopic studies in the late 16-somethings, he was shagging his missus one night and after getting there (I assume he withdrew and aimed at a slide propped discretely on her tummy) he dashed to the microscope "within 5 pulses of the heart" and saw to his amazement little creatures with tails swimming therein.

The tie-in here is that when he sent his findings to London's Royal Society he was quick to point out that the discharge was as the result of conjugal coitus, not through 'defiling his own body'. Chuckle. Further, the microscope he used to observe sperm for the first time - I'm a bit surprised he could run across a room and focus so soon after the event, to be honest - recently sold for near half a million American at auction.

I guess Leeoo-winsomethingoranother (Dutch? Belgian?) got more of a hardon for science than shagging. Einstein didn't have that problem. In fact, he had more of Rich Wood's idea of mating and marriage in his head. I guess he kinda liked actual women instead of science or theism.

I get a hardon for tinynibbles.com and its idea of human sexuality.

Unfortunately, it is nsfw.

Ah... but do you play GTAIV and are a Steelers and Jenna Jameson fan? I'm still trying to figure ragdish's comment out and I don't think he targeted anyone in particular.

I must have missed the thread that inspired this, but I am pro-masturbation, especially the mutual kind.

It was inspired by a Jewey leftist catburger-hoarding gold-speculating humanitarianist theistard. The kind that herds people like those often seen in my current avatar.

Mutual can be fun... but only if it's watching two other people being mutual! I'm more of a lesbian rape/lesbian 'ravishment'/mother-daughter exchange/female genetic sexual attraction/queening with a smotherbox kind of guy myself.
